Baochai is a mermaid

The secret room was narrow, and he walked there in a few steps. The little girl stood still half a step away from him, and gave him a blessing: "Thank you for taking care of me during this time. I wanted to thank you in person, but Men and women are different, and there has never been a chance."

Wei Chi was stunned.

Thank him?

Thank him for what?

Thank him for getting into trouble on the first day of entering the palace and causing her to go to the imperial study for interrogation and almost losing her life, or thanking him for causing her to be splashed with vegetable soup and almost being beaten by Yang Shangyi, or thanking him for throwing her away on a whim. Getting involved in palace studies, being involved in an innocent disaster related to him, first being coveted by Wei Jun, and then being followed, his life hangs by a thread?

This little girl really doesn't know, or is she born not to hold grudges, she was hurt so badly by him, and she came to thank him only after receiving a little favor.

Xiaomen Xiaohu has never seen the world!

Having said that, Wei Chi felt sour in his heart, and couldn't tell what it was like.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Xue Baoer's actions left him speechless, and it took him a long time to utter a word.

Xue Bao'er shook her head without thinking: "My son has helped me so much, it's too late for me to thank you, what are you afraid of?"

After speaking, as if he was afraid that he would not believe it, he walked to Luohan's bed and sat down.

Wei Chi: "..." The bed seems a bit small.

Xue Baoer just sat down, but Wei Chi bounced up. After a dry cough, he decided not to dwell on this topic anymore, and instead asked: "Why do you want to learn from those who have it?"

Xue Bao'er immediately understood that what was there and what was not was referring to those graceful gaits and exquisite postures that she begged Yang Shangyi to teach.

But she couldn't explain it.

It can't be said that she is actually a fish, eager to get the prince's love and become a human being, she tried to find Wei Cheng reluctantly, she learned these things just to seduce him, make him fall in love with her, kiss her, and run away after teasing her !

The story of The Little Mermaid is an extremely poignant love story in the world of fairy tales, but when it comes to the adult world in ancient China, it is Liaozhai, where the mermaid spirit failed to seduce a man!

It's too scary!

But Wei Chi is too smart to be perfunctory, the reason must be reasonable.

Xue Baoer feigned embarrassment on her face, and she was very anxious in her heart, and instantly ruled out several far-fetched reasons.

Wei Chi looked at Xue Baoer's porcelain-white face flushed, and already had the answer in his heart.

What he thought was similar to Yang Shangyi's original guess.

It is impossible for the Xue family to send their daughter to the palace without the slightest desire to cling to the powerful. Xue Bao'er has to bear the hopes of the whole family and even the whole clan at a young age.

Even if they were born in a beautiful country and are burdened by family status, if they want to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, most of them can only commit themselves to be concubines and serve others with sex.

The little porcelain doll was only ten years old, and the Xue family was too anxious. The unspeakable sourness in Wei Chi's heart turned into deep bitterness in an instant.

Like him, she is a pawn of the family.

He was not the eldest son of An Guogong, but he was established as the heir son because of the emperor's preference. Although the elder brother didn't say anything, he gradually became separated from him.

The same goes for the other brothers, only the seventh brother called him the fourth brother, and everyone else called him the eldest son and respected him.

So he had no parents or brothers since he was a child, and his friends left and died, in exchange for the prosperity of the An Guo Gongfu's favor, and the power of the Princess De Ning for a while.

Since everyone is a pawn, why bother each other?

Just about to put aside this embarrassing topic, Xue Baoer suddenly opened her mouth, and she said confidently: "It's so easy to enter the palace, and naturally I have to learn what I can learn, so I don't overwhelm myself with too many skills!"

It means that thieves don't go empty.

Wei Chi: "..."

Well, don't say it if you don't want to say it.

After several topics were not selected, Wei Chi simply shut up, thinking that the follower should have gone far away, and he should send Xue Baoer back.

"It's getting late, I'll take you back." Wei Chi said.

For a long time, the little porcelain doll got up, as if someone had cast a spell on her body, but her pair of beautiful apricot eyes were rolling around, obviously something was on her mind.

Wei Chi didn't intend to guess anymore, and asked directly: "Is there anything else?"

Xue Bao'er seemed to be frightened, and raised her head suddenly with an "ah", hesitatingly: "There is something that I don't understand, and I don't know whether I should tell you..."

Wei Chi looked down at her: "You don't believe me?"

Xue Bao'er did not hesitate this time: "I regard you as a friend, of course I believe you. It's just that people who know about this may be in danger, and I don't want to involve you. But I am stupid and have little experience. What do you think? I can't even figure it out. And I have a hunch that someone following you tonight is probably related to this incident, and you may have been involved by mistake."

I regard you as a friend...

What Xue Baoer said later, Wei Chi didn't hear at all, his ears seemed to be blocked by these words.

"Say it again, what do you think of me?" After waiting for a long time for Xue Bao'er's cherry mouth to finally move, Wei Chi found his voice amidst the buzzing.

His voice was urgent, cold, and without emotion.

Xue Bao'er thought she had said something wrong, she just thought about Wei Chi as a friend, and it seemed a bit ridiculous to say it.

After all, their status is too disparate.

In fact, making friends also pays attention to being well-matched, at least in one circle.

If a high-ranking person treats a low-ranking person as a friend, it is flattering, and vice versa, it is not knowing what is good or bad.

Xue Bao'er blushed and didn't say anything for a long time.

Wei Chi came back to his senses slowly, and threatened her indifferently: "You may not know that all my friends are dead. It's dangerous to be my friend."

Unexpectedly, Xue Baoer breathed a sigh of relief, her beautiful almond eyes sparkled: "That's great! It's dangerous to be your friend, and it's also dangerous to know what I know. People will die. Evened out!"

Wei Chi: "..."

A little girl in the boudoir can know any dangerous things, and the things as big as sesame seeds and mung beans can magnify their bored minds infinitely.

In fact, Wei Chi doesn't care at all about the dangerous thing Xue Baoer said, what he cares about is that someone dares to risk his life to treat him as a friend.

Maybe she doesn't know what his friends have been through. He just wanted to tell her a horror story, but Xue Baoer spoke first: "I was detained today not because I didn't learn the rules, but because Yang Shangyi wanted to entrust me Send someone a message. In exchange, she teaches me what to do and what not to do."

She borrowed Wei Chi's wording to summarize this passage, and continued to focus: "Until you broke in, she didn't say who she was going to send the message to, but before she left, she whispered in my ear, saying..."

Xue Baoer looked around subconsciously, remembering that she was in the secret room, she still couldn't help but lower her voice and say: "Be careful of the queen!"

Watch out for the queen?

It does sound a bit serious, but Wei Chi knows a little about Yang Shangyi's past grievances with the queen, and after thinking about it, he doesn't take it seriously: "Yang Shangyi used to be the queen's dowry maid, and won the queen's trust. Yi is a female official of the fifth rank. When she becomes a senior official, she has a big heart. She disobeyed the queen more than once.

Xue Baoer regarded him as a friend, and Wei Chi didn't want her eyes to be taken advantage of by those who wanted to, so he had to explain to her patiently: "For so many years, Yang Shangyi inevitably felt resentful, she dared not directly spread rumors to slander the queen in the harem. , but she can find a scapegoat to help her spread the rumors."

Wei Chi looked at Xue Bao'er and raised his eyebrows: "As for you, you have a weak family background, no one in the family is an official in the court, you are young, and you are new here, so it's better to be careful."

The implication is that she is the best candidate for a scapegoat.

Before Wei Chi finished speaking, Xue Bao'er's porcelain-white face was already pale, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead, Wei Chi stopped talking just in time for fear of scaring her.

Xue Baoer was sweating profusely recalling the details of getting along with Yang Shangyi, and she always felt that she was not the kind of person Wei Chi said: "I think Yang Shangyi is a little old, and the quarrel between her and the queen is not One day or two days, right? Have there been rumors of slandering the queen before?"

Wei Chi shook his head, that's not true.

"It's not only this year that Gong Xue chooses Zanshan as an escort. I heard that the selection criteria in previous years are even lower, otherwise I wouldn't be on the candidate list."

Xue Baoer's voice was trembling at first, but she became calmer and calmer when she spoke: "The empress is well-mannered, and the harem rules are strict, but why does the House of Internal Affairs dare to put the ice room in the Shangyi bureau? And Yang Shangyi, who is in charge of palace rules and etiquette But you can bear it for so many years, even if you contract a cold because of it, you still don't say a word?"

Yang Shangyi is in charge of palace ceremonies, and the number of female officials and maids who have been taught every year is unknown. It is too easy to find a scapegoat to spread some vague rumors. Why bother to endure so many years and endure so much pain.

Wei Chi recalled that day when the imperial physician came to him and told him that Yang Shangyi was dying of illness and now he was just trying to survive.

Could it be that people's words are good when they are about to die, she really wants to warn someone.

But why did she choose Xue Baoer?

In addition to the weak family background, being young and new here, there is another possibility...the person she wants to warn knows Xue Baoer and trusts her very much.

Thinking about it this way, the range of candidates was immediately narrowed down.

Because Xue Bao'er has just arrived, she knows only a handful of people in the palace, only the girl from the Jia family who works in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the girl from the Wang family who is also Zanshan in the palace school, An Ning and himself.

Xue Bao'er happened to think of this level too, and suddenly the cold glance from the queen in the royal study and the unsightly smile flashed through her mind, as well as the tragic death of the two young maids Jia Yuanchun had gossiped about in An Guogong's mansion. thing.

Today Wei Chi asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to remove the ice room to help Yang Shangyi, will Yang Shangyi repay Wei Chi with this reminder?

very possible!

Yang Shangyi was once the queen's confidant, so she naturally knew many secrets that could not be told to outsiders.

Will it also be about Wei Chi?

That's why Wei Chi helped Yang Shangyi by mistake, which made the empress fearful, and thus followed him tonight.

Thinking through this layer, it seems that all questions have been answered.

Things turned out to be more dangerous than she expected.
